Did Trump know he was positive for Corona before the first confrontation with Biden? “Pike News”
The former White House chief of staff has published a book claiming that the 45th president has been vaccinated against the virus, and yet chose to appear alongside the presidential candidate. “He would have looked a little tired”
Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, has published a new book about his time at the White House – in which he claimed that the 45th president was positive for Corona three days before the first televised confrontation against Joe Biden during the presidential race. Trump vehemently denies the allegations.

Meadows wrote that although Trump knew every candidate was required to “be negatively tested for the virus 72 hours before the start of the conflict, nothing will stop him from getting there.” He claims that although positive, the former president presented negative results from another test he performed.
In response to the publication, Trump as aforesaid denied Medus’ claims. “My story with the Corona before, or during the first confrontation – is Pike News,” the 45th president said in a statement. “In fact, a pre-hearing check showed I did not have a corona.”
President Biden was also asked by reporters what he thought of the possibility that the previous president had endangered him – and Biden replied: “I do not care about the former president.”
The information revealed in the book comes after a year of speculation as to whether Trump, then 74, was ill with the Corona virus when he faced Biden, then 77, in a Sept. 29 confrontation in Cleveland. This is because a few days later, on October 2, the White House announced that the president had conducted an inspection about an hour ago, and was found positive.

Medus’ book will be officially released next week, but the Guardian obtained a copy on Tuesday – coincidentally or not, on the same day that Medus changed his decision and announced he would cooperate with the White House commission investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
According to the former chief of staff, Trump was positive for Corona on September 26, three days before the confrontation with Biden. The test results came on the same day that a ceremony was held for the appointment of Amy Connie Barrett to the Supreme Court, when as I recall, many visited the event as a ticking time bomb for Corona.
According to Medus, that day Trump looked “a little tired,” and suspected the then-president had a “mild cold.” However, Meadows said he was “pleased” that Trump would attend the rally that evening in Pennsylvania – until he received a phone call from White House physician Sean Conley.
“Stop the president from leaving,” Conley told the Meadows, “he’s just found positive for Corona.” By this time, however, the 45th president was already on board Air Force 1.
The former head of the quarantine recalled that the test that came out positive was performed with an old kit, and was tested again – so he was found negative. While Trump took the negative result as “full approval to continue as if nothing had happened,” Meadows said he had instructed anyone in his immediate circle to treat the president as if he were infected.
“I did not want to take unnecessary risks,” he wrote. “But I also did not want to frighten the public if there was nothing to worry about.” But as is well known, the public never knew about the positive test.
